Funny Signs: Part 2

Funny Signs Follow Me!

If you want the background on this you need to check out my first post on the topic of Funny Signs. Suffice it to say, funny signs seem to follow me wherever I go. In this second installment of “Funny Signs” I’ve included what is my favorite sign to date!

Funny Sign: Do Not Crush

Context: This photo was taken out the window as our family was driving through Oklahoma City. In case you can’t read the text on the crushed box, it says “DO NOT CRUSH”. Classic!

On the bright side, at least the fragile contents won’t be falling off the truck!

Funny Sign: Don’t Climb on Rocks

To me, this sign really brings up more questions than it answers. I mean, I can see how someone might decide that climbing on the rocks would be an okay thing to do … but why are we including the lamb and the lion? And why do we not include the other parts of the exhibit? Is it okay for me to traipse over the plants?

On a more serious note, while we were there we watched their production called “Joseph” … very impressive!

Funny Sign: Not For Sale

Context: This sign was posted on an item found among merchandise at a country-store-kind-of-a-place.

I’m not ashamed to say that this is probably my favorite sign of all time! What a beauty! I honestly don’t know where to start with this one!

I guess my first question is this: “What the heck is that thing?” And seriously, who, after looking at it thinks to themselves “Ooooh! I’d love to buy that!”

And if the whatever-it-is isn’t for sale then why is it sitting on a shelf in the store beside a bunch of stuff that is for sale? If you don’t want to sell it then wouldn’t it be easier to move to a storage room in the back rather than put a sign on it?

Finally, I can’t help but notice that this is the DISPLAY unit! Believe me when I say there were no others on the shelf … so I guess they used to have a lot of them and then sold out!
